WSJ: Indian Army Attacks Militant Camps in Myanmar

Special-forces teams carried out strikes in two separate locations in Myanmar

NEW DELHI—India’s army crossed into neighboring Myanmar and attacked two militant camps early Tuesday, the Indian government said, days after its soldiers were killed in an ambush near the country’s northeastern border.

Special-forces teams carried out strikes in two separate locations in Myanmar that “annihilated the entire camps,” said Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, a minister of state in India’s Information Ministry. Myanmar’s military didn't directly participate in the operation, but the two sides were in close touch, Mr. Rathore said.

Mr. Rathore said Tuesday’s operation was approved by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was a sign of tough new approach toward security, especially along the country’s long border. When running for office last year, Mr. Modi accused his opponents of being soft on terror and pledged a more muscular policy.
